                       CONGRATULATING NICOLE BERG

  (Mr. NEWHOUSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, some may say that I am biased, but I 
firmly believe that Washington State is home to the best farmers in the 
world. Today I rise to congratulate one of those incredible farmers, my 
fellow Washingtonian, Nicole Berg, for her appointment to the Federal 
Crop Insurance Corporation board of directors.
  Nicole's experience as a fourth-generation farmer in central 
Washington has provided her with a strong, yet personal, understanding 
of the needs of family-run farms in the United States.
  For many years, I have seen Nicole's passion for putting food on 
America's table. Her work with the National Association of Wheat 
Growers has been of immense benefit to the region and to the world. And 
there is no doubt in my mind that she will be a great asset to the 
Federal Crop Insurance Corporation.
  I wish Nicole the very best as she enters this new chapter. Her 
appointment to the FCIC board of directors is well deserved, and I 
congratulate her on this fantastic achievement.
